Pretty cool, but I'm not diggin' the mushrooms. Too straight of a line, they almost look like sprinklers or something

Pretty cool, but the perspective of the shoulders don't match the wings (she's kind of turned to the side a little, but the wings are head on)

Gives me the creepy-crawlies! Nice take on the theme.

Congrats!!

Congrats for third.... well done.

Well composed image. The only nitpick would be the rhino's head where it meets the water. Just looks strange to me. Otherwise well done.

symmetry is not always what makes thing fine ...
it would be better if you had done some major changes in their pose or sth else

Congrats !

Congrats!!

There is something very appealing or intriguing about this. But I have some issues: I find the car on the surface inappropriate considering they do not float and we can see the water is very deep (and you already have one submerged - great job!) The submerged person is too "bright" and sharp compared to the underwater scene. The waterfall implies two levels of water, with the rush coming toward the us; if true, that would require a large corresponding splash on farthest part of the left building, too, to show that forward movement.

Congrats!!

congrats!

You have so many sources, hard to find which one. It will help in the future if you title them such as "head and neck," "lungs," "wound," etc. instead of "Source 1," "Source 2," etc...

You're right, the body is unaltered from your source. It then becomes your overall composition that makes it seem too large and poorly placed within the image. This is a visual "illusion" created by the eye's movement from your other elements, colors, and value choices. But since your focus was a zombie effect, more than an optical illusion of distortion, I still stand by my last statement that your technical execution needs work to create a more visually believable balance of the elements used.

She looks too cut and paste, like she is floating above the walk path. The head is also anatomically off, with the face looking too large and far away from the rest of the head and neck.

An interesting concept, but the technical execution needs a bit more attention to detail.

Looks better now, good luck!

Interesting idea, especially with the man & woman, but a bit too dark.

Very creative take! Love it. Very surreal.

Yes, it's great, though I would have made one or two changes, if you make a tutrial for it, love to have a go.

Do you think shrinking the entire snake body would help with the balance? (thickening the upper body of course to match the distortion) just that snakes are usually thickest in the top of the pipe, not in the lower) but this is surreal so it is pretty much fair game, altering the background insect creatures so they aren't so duplicated would create more interest in the overall effect as well.. great job.. and GOOD LUCK always, IMHO

I think a Dodge tool run over the frog might increase the image (visually) he's a cutie good luck

IMHO, it needs a little more work on the paws, where the waves strike.

I like your idea. Colorful and interesting. GL.

This is really cool. Did you intentionally make this diagonal? It also would look good flipped 90* counter clockwise. Although that would be less interesting. The way you have it now...sorta makes you think a bit...which is probably better. Nice job, author!

very dark, but once my eyes adjusted to the image i thought it was really good

looks much better now... and i just noticed the tail end of another bird you placed to the left of the image... i liek the idea of a squadron of these, why not group some together in the distance behind her? great stuff!

Would be more believable if the shell were a lot smaller, like saddle sized. Otherwise it's a fun image.

Also, the rope is not in her left hand... It is behind it. Mask that hand below the fingers to have the rope thside her hand at the bottom.

Cool concept. But there are some shadow issues: shell on bird body, steering poles on shell and bird body.

My favorite entry in this contest, very well executed and good job on the details. Too bad that the high resolution version could not be uploaded. Anyway high vote from me and good luck.

I too would love to see a high res version. I'm a big fan of this half underwater type image. Nice job.

Nice work author. The mermaid part feels a bit lacking in shape.

Making the tail bigger might ground her more, but hell.. it's a fantasy image so what ever you see in your minds eye is okay with me.. (I just see the tail bigger and more powerful to move her body torso) GREAT JOB AND GOOD LUCK .... IMHO

Objects need shadows.

hard work

It's funny.
But author, you forgot to mention the sources.

Good job on the flesh tones. The rest needs work.

earth too sharp........maybe u need to motion blur a bit.........

Great subject mater, looks cool. You ought to upload a HiRes.

nice improvments, best of luck

Looks better.... good luck.

Interesting. I'm not fond of the planet being right up against the top edge of the image, however.

Much improved, author! Just one thing: the light on the moon is from our right, so the planet would have more of a highlight on that side.

I agree with CMYK about the planet....check your messages, there you will find a little help to make a nice planet....good luck.

Planet image is very low res. You can easily find a replacement with decent resolution. GL author.

nice work..!!

funny great job!

The squirrels head the way you have it is a nice touch.

hehe .. thats very nice ...

Very funny ! Good luck author !
